Electrical recalls for the 2011 Keystone Avalanche

Electrical system

11V5770006,101 vehicles affected

The problem
Keystone has revised their remedy process and is again recalling certain 2009-2011 vehicles with the “generator ready” option, or with standard generator. See the list above for the affected models. Some iota its-50r transfer switches are experiencing failures when exposed to high electrical loads. The failure is causing connections and wiring in the transfer switch to degrade and over heat.
The risk
Continued use of the vehicle without replacing the transfer switch may damage other appliances, increase the risk of a fire, personal injury, and property damage.
The fix
Keystone will notify owners, and dealers will replace the transfer switch, free of charge. The remedy for the previous recall (10v-594) was to inspect and tighten the switch connections. The safety recall began on february 24, 2012. Owners may contact keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369.

Electrical system

10V5940006,297 vehicles affected

The problem
Keystone is recalling certain fifth wheel trailers with a generator ready option. If the transfer switch is not installed to the proper specifications, the elevated electrical loads associated with the recreational vehicle use in higher ambient temperatures may cause overheating of the lugs and degrading of the electrical connections.
The risk
Overheating of the connections could result in a fire.
The fix
Dealers will inspect and replace the transfer switch if necessary free of charge. The safety was superceded by campaign 11v-577. Owners may contact keystone customer service at 1-866-425-4369.
